Answer
The upper jaw bones are the **maxillary bones**. The mandible is the lower jaw. The occipital and frontal bones are part of the cranium.<br /><br />There are **7** pairs of true ribs. True ribs attach directly to the sternum (breastbone). There are also 5 pairs of false ribs (3 pairs attach indirectly to the sternum, and 2 pairs are floating ribs with no sternal attachment).<br />
